Musical signals exhibit periodic temporal structure that create the sensation of rhythm. In order to model, analyze, and retrieve musical signals it is important to automatically extract rhythmic information. To somewhat simplify the problem, automatic algorithms typically only extract information about the main beat of the signal which can be loosely defined as the regular periodic sequence of...

The tinting strength of the pigments used to colour concrete products such as pavers and roof tiles is of particular significance. Pigments with high tinting strength will create a more intense colour than those with lower tinting strength, even if the same quantities are used. This means that smaller amounts of the pigments with high tinting strength are needed to create a certain colour inten...

Finding and recommendation of suitable persons based on their characteristics in social or collaboration networks is still a big challenge. The purpose of this paper is to discover and recommend suitable persons or whole community within a developers’ network. The experiments were realized on the data collection of specialized web portal used for collaboration of developers Codeplex.com. Users ...

The procedure for experimental-analytical prediction of flexural strength is reviewed. It allows consideration of size effect phenomena with only minor modification of standard laboratory test procedure. Two possibilities are suggested: testing with one size only and testing with two sizes. The application of this procedure to real case, a massive concrete subway tunnel constructed recently in ...

A numerical analysis is made on the appearance of oceanic internal solitary waves in a multi-modal setting. This is done for observed profiles of stratification from the Sulu Sea and the Bay of Biscay, in which thermocline motion is dominated by the first and third mode, respectively. The results show that persistent solitary waves occur only in the former case, in accordance with the observati...

For a simple graph G with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G), a labeling φ : V (G) ∪ E(G) −→ {1, 2, . . . , k} is called a vertex irregular total klabeling of G if for any two different vertices x and y, their weights wt(x) ∗ The work was supported by the Higher Education Commission Pakistan. 148 A. AHMAD, K.M. AWAN, I. JAVAID AND SLAMIN and wt(y) are distinct. The weight wt(x) of a vertex x in...

Garments washing is one of the most important finishing treatments applied on apparels which have vital use to create special outlooks and improving the fashion. Technologically washing is one of the most important fashion elements for clothing industry and production of washed garments depends on the machine quality. In order to achieve an optimum effect of washing process, on the woven fabric...
